> On 8 October 1912, during the First Balkan War, Lemnos became part of Greece. The Greek navy under Rear Admiral Pavlos Kountouriotis took it over without any casualties from the occupying Turkish Ottoman garrison, who were returned to Anatolia. Peter Charanis, born on the island in 1908 and later a professor of Byzantine history at Rutgers University recounts when the island was occupied and Greek soldiers were sent to the villages and stationed themselves in the public squares. Some of the children ran to see what Greek soldiers looked like. "What are you looking at?" one of them asked. "At Hellenes," the children replied. "Are you not Hellenes yourselves?" a soldier retorted. "No, we are Romans." the children replied.
It's supposedly the commonly purchased trim level because it costs more, so Rubicon the word is used for wealth ostentation.
I've made a sport (a demented sport admittedly) out of asking folks with them what "Rubicon" means. I've not yet found a correct answer.
Did any of the "incorrect" answers include "it's named after an off-roading trail"? Because it's named after an off-roading trail used by Jeep as a testing/proving ground[0].
Most of their trail rated / trailhawk models contain some sort of nod to off roading trails. E.g., their "Renegade" contains maps of popular trails embossed into various bits of plastic.[1]

Fast forward to modern times, and people in the area of Romagna, near Ravenna, Rimini, and Cesena, had long claimed with no evidence that a polluted little creek in the region was the actual Rubicon: though its specific identification had long been lost to time. Nonetheless they named it "Il Rubicone". The mouth of the river opens directly south of Cesenatico, a beach town on the Adriatic and the family home of my in-laws. See the bust of Caesar on this bridge over the mouth:

Now Italians are famous for unnecessarily goosing local legends to make their neighborhoods more historically important than they are. (For example though Leonardo da Vinci did draw a small survey of Cesenatico's historic canal -- not related to the Rubicon -- for the Borgia Popes, that's not enough for the locals: the town has a local plaque saying he created the canal despite the fact that it preexisted him by hundreds of years.) But as it so happens, historical research culminating in the late '90s has verified the river's legend: the creek is in fact the actual Rubicon. In Italy, folk history goes way way back.
